In case anyone has similar problems I'll wrap this thread up with my conclusion: The incubator I had - a generic Chinese roller system incubator bought on Amazon - was somehow faulty. I haven't figured out what exactly it does badly, because temp and rh are good and it did turn the eggs but they...

To give a final update for this season: my last hatch was a relative success. In the same incubator, using the govee thermometer to monitor parameters, I did a dry incubation with Rh between 20 and 35 for the first 15 days then upped to 60. The temperature was relatively stable unless I added...

Update: using a borrowed incubator So I tried hatching a small batch of eggs in a different incubator - a small thing that has the eggs upright and that has worked successfully for my friend. I had to turn the eggs manually which I did by tipping the whole machine 45° from one side to the...

I'm pretty sure this incubator only goes in one direction. I mean maybe it's meant to go both ways but I've only ever seen it turn in one direction. Chinese quality... But would that explain the deplorable results, with most embryos dying around day 6/7? From what I can see the temperature is...

I'm still trying to research and trouble shoot the issue with this incubator... I bought a govee thermometer and am currently running the incubator without any eggs in it. It looks very stable and correct. I don't think temperature should be the problem, but I'll run it for a bit longer just in...

Two little chicks survived the incubation and they hatched healthily, no deformities or anything, no hatching problems, except a very impatient human. 2 out of 20, that's definitely not a great hatchrate but it's also not a complete fail which leaves me even more confused about what's going...

I went and took out the eggs that were clearly not growing anymore and opened them to see if there was any information to be gained. The interior of the eggs was mostly ok, that is, there was no terrible smell or discoloration except a bit of black in one egg. The embryos all had died around the...

I used distilled water the first two runs and then it was just getting ridiculously expensive since I have to use about 0.5l water a day to keep humidity up. We live in a very arid location... Now I'm using our untreated well water. So my running hypothesis is there are fluctuations in one of...

I used a few different thermometers to test the temperature, none have excellent precision, it's just what I had at home. The digital one showed temperatures varied despite almost constant digital display, sometimes a tiny bit high but mostly about a degree and a half Celsius lower (set: 37.8C...

It's one of the chinese models that use random vowels and consonants as brandnames... Yes, it turns the eggs and I marked them to make sure it was working. My friend has the same model and hers works, but with Chinese fabrication and quality control I wouldn't be surprised if it were a...

Hey everyone, I'm new here and need some ideas of how to resolve the issues I'm having with incubation. I've got a relatively cheap incubator from amazon.es - a rectangular design with rollers, forced air, bottom water tank. At first appearance it seems to be working reasonably well. I've...
